Day and in the overnight hours. This weather system has according to the governor closed 550 roads and bridges, prompted 270 calls for help to the department of Public Safety and sent close to a thousand people to shelters. The irony here with flooding neck high, look at the street sign, the most dire need in this state according to the governor is for water. Why . Treatment systems. They have been overwhelmed. The main thing we have seen is everybody is requesting water. Especially in the midlands area. They are without water in a lot of places. So we are going to be setting up. A lot of people have tried to go to store thes to buy it. We are setting up water distribution sites. This is the third day of rescues now. In South Carolina braces for what is to come, let me show you what the state has endured in the last 48 hours. In desperate need of rescue, the flood weary are finding help from swift water rescue teams, National Guardsman, Good Samaritans and their neighbors. Our concentration now is emergency and rescue. Reporter even in the dark of night, an extraordinary effort. A a human chain was credited to help those stranded unable to walk because of the waist high waters proving once again theres strength in numbers. The coast guard came to the aid of the mother and her 15monthold baby rescuing them from their flooded out home and air lifting them to safety. A truck driver who thought he could find the roadway couldnt. Hes crawling out of the truck now. Reporter it took awhile, but crews were able to pull this man out and get him to higher and safer ground. Dont be stupid. Dont try to drive through flooded areas. You dont know how deep they will be. Reporter over the weekend hundreds of rescues by helicopter and by boat. This family trapped inside their flooded home was evacuated by boat as nearby neighbors looked on. Pretty much everybody down that hill has lost everything this morning. Our vehicles, our cars, everything. We still have our lives. Still have their lives. Im going to go to one of the areas hardest hit and nick valencia in columbia, South Carolina. Tell me where you are and, again, this need for water where you are its a boil water advisory. Reporter theres is still a tremendous potential for danger Going Forward here. There is a water advisory. Our crew was affected by it. The hotel we were checking in ran out of water. They ran out of food because they didnt have water to clean after making food. So a lot of these people in this area, thousands still without water. Some have had water restored, but a lot of damage to the Sewage Systems here. Theres a potential for further evacuations. Were in columbia. This is the center of the state. Probably it got the brunt of the damage from what we have seen in our four or five days here in the state. This water has to go somewhere and theres that potential it will drain into the coast causing further damage in places like charleston and beyond. Governor hailey spoke about all of this at a press conference earlier this afternoon. What you will see happen is as the water shifts down, were going to preposition where the roads are closed. So roads are closed and youre going to see them down from the midlands down to the low country as the water flows. Youll see road closures happen that didnt happen before. Thats more because we know water totals that are starting to come in a certain direction. Youll see e evacuations in certain places. Those will be announced as well. We have had a brief break in the rain, but just when you think it stops, it picks back up again. Earlier this afternoon, we thought it was all over. We thought we were in the clear and just a little while ago, the rain started again. More than 900 people in shelters because of flood evacuations. 40,000 people still without water. Another 26,000 dont have any access to power. So this is still a a dire situation for the state of South Carolina. The concern from local officials is that people will think its okay to come out. Out of boredom, curiosity or a sense of adventure to see whats going on around them. Thats what they dont want. They dont want unnecessary rescu rescues. They have had to do more than 100 of those across the state. Stay home, stay home, stay home. Nick valencia, thank you so much. The governor of South Carolina has described this weather as a thousandyear flood event. Meaning theres a 1 in 1,000 chance it could happen. As youre seeing pictures, it has. The community, no one has seen this much rain at one time. With me now i have the mayor on the phone from north charleston. Thank you for jumping on the line. Let me begin with what do conditions look like out your win e doe right now . Well, were having misting rain currently. Nothing like weve been having for the last days. But were seeing the water recede. Now we are concerns about whats going to happen with the amount of rain thats been in the upstate. Normally it flows downhill. And were downhill. So how are you all preparing for that . Well, were make iing sure o people stay alert. We know our flood areas. We know them better now than we ever had because we had had communi areas that flooded that we havent had flood in the past. Some of our areas where we have had flooding it was just really bad for our people. Were looking at these pictures of these folks rescued on roads that are rivers now. I understand you were out helping some of these folks evacuate. Can you tell me some stories of what you saw . Well, yesterday we were going out doing some damage assessment. Had folks from city hall, my wife and my son and my daughter, we all went to assess damage. We found a neighborhood that we have started evacuating saturday night. Went back and evacuated some more sunday morning. But there were a number of people that were still in their homes and the water seemed to be rising. And so we went in the water and got to talking to the folks and talked them all into leaving. People didnt want to leave their houses and i can understand that, but you cant have electricity on in houses when you have water 12, 16 sometimes 24 inches inside the house. And they didnt want to leave their animals. So we established a location where they could take their animals with them. Its just trying to accommodate these people that are being devastated by whats happening and doing what we should be doing for them. Our hearts going out to all of South Carolina baring the brunt of this. We wish you the best as you deal with potentially more flooding as it comes down state. Thank you for jumping on the phone. Were going to make sure we tell your stories and get you the help you need. I want to mention more breaking news. An American Airlines pilot died while flying a passenger jet from phoenix to boston today. Heres what we know. There were 147 passengers on this plane. A crew of five people on board. The copilot took over when the captain fell ill and collapsed. The plane was diverted to syracuse, new york, where it did land safely. Let me bring in our aviation analyst. You have a pilot die midflight. What is protocol . Is there protocol for that . First of all, let me offer my condolences to the family of a colleague. Seco secondly, the protocol is this is not something we necessarily train for. But the copilot in that right seat is as qualified as the captain to fly that airplane. So its very disconcerting, but once you realize what the situation is, it sounds like he did what he had to do. He got ahold of air traffic control. Said that he was unresponsive. At that point, what youre going to do is just try we cant be physicians at the same time, so if it was me, i would want to attempt to get the airplane on the ground and safe this individual. Thats exactly what this copilot did. Hes perfectly capable of making this happen. From the right seat, more than likely, my understanding that there was a Flight Attendant that had some medical background that attempted to help. So i imagine he was directing himself to just the operation of the aircraft while this Flight Attendant attempted to e revive what we understand is the captain. Rest assured that that copilot knew what he was doing and it sounded like he did a tremendous job and diverted to the closest place to get medical attention. So as all of this is happening in the cockpit, how open would you with be with the passengers on board this plane . Do you say a medical emergency, we need to get this bird down on the ground or do you explain what exactly is happening . Thats a great question. Its going to depend upon the individual. Obviously, youre going to have to tell the passengers something. And most likely, im not beginning to speculate for this copilot, but if it was me in the situation, i would be honest with the passengers and let them know what exactly was happening. And i think to use a bad pun at this point, but everybody would be on board with this and certainly want to get this captain medical attention or this pilot medical attention. I was on a plane once and something happened to the pilots son and they were transparent with us and your heart went out to them. Thank you so much.

Youre watching cnn. Ucc has reopened after last weeks massacre, but classes are cancelled for the week. The survivors are finding the courage to talk about what they saw, what they heard, what happened. Sara sidner talked exclusively to one student shot in the hand. She played dead to keep the gunman from killing her. So as she lay covered with blood from one of the victims, she remembered the gunman looking like he wants to do it for fun. He had a gun with him and he was armed. He had a bullet proof vest on. And he didnt seem like he was anxious or anything. He seemed like he wanted to do that. He seemed happy about it. He didnt seem stressed or nervous. When he came in, he told everybody to get on the ground. So everybody tried to huddle to the ground and the girl tried to get down on the ground. There was a woman in a wheelchair during all this . Yeah, and she had a dog with her. Cnn also spoke exclusively with the mother. Of another survivor. Summer smith says her sons life was intentionally spared because the shooter needed him to deliver an envelope to police. At the time, smith says her son saw students all around him being shot. The shooter asked him to give the Police Something and that if he did, he would live. Matthew said he didnt quite get what he said. That when the shooter gave him what he was told to give to police, he was then sent to sit in the back of the room facing the room and to watch what was going on. Matthew said that he froze. He didnt make a single move. He was afraid to look away, that if he did anything to make the shooter notice him had, he would be shot. 26yearold shooter called smiths son the lucky one. Investigators have not revealed the contents of the envelope. They are reviewing writings that revealed he studied Mass Shootings from the past. And with all of this, part of the national conversation, i sat down with 40 phenomenal people, mothers, daughters, sons, aunt, uncles, all somehow touch ed by gun violence. These still grieving survivors shared stories of their lost loved ones. They have united under everytown for gun safety hoping to keep others from suffering the same plight. Today they are turning their attention to the white house. They have recommended five steps the president could take without congressional approval to keep guns out of the hands of shooters. Im joined by one of the Family Members who was with me. She lost three loved ones in the Charleston Church shooting. Thank you for coming on today. I really appreciate it. Thank you for having me, bro brooke. I want to remind folks for those who did not watch, just a little piece of what you shared with us as part of that town hall. In that Charleston Church, you lost your mother and two cousins. Yes. I was at work when my nephew called and said aunty, there was a shooting at the church. And i said, what church . And he said, grannys church. And nobody had heard nothing. I called my mamas phone. I did everything i could. No answer. So i knew she was gone. There would have been no other place in the world she would have been. As far as the question of peace, it will only be three months, so i am raw, i am new to this cause. Peace will come. So i wanted to ask you today, sharon, with charleston, now oregon, are you any closer to finding that peace . Brooke, i cant seem to get there because here again we have oregon. With people losing their lives because of guns and what this does is throw you right back into that state because you can feel what those people in oregon were going through. Any time you feel like youre having good days in a row, something happens and it throws you right back into grief and doubt and anger. That day i just didnt know what to do. I was just numb. I keep trying to go on, but how can i go on . How can i continue to try to be strong when this continues to happen . Sharon, i know you find strength in your faith, youre a reverend. You lost your mother and cousins in a church. How are pastors handling this on sundays . How much trouble are they having comforting their congregations . I believe our pastors and clergy people are trying to get their congregations to understand. People use their christian label to give them some kind of authenticity of who they are and the way that they act. Pastors are telling congregations that youre going to have to what you believe in and stand on your convictions and im saying to myself if i had been in that room and he had asked me about my religious affiliation or if i believed in jesus, i would have died that die. So as christians and clergy people, we have to let our congregations know that if we go by the love that god has mandated us and to love our neighbors as ourselves, then all of these things about guns and violence and domestic violence, all of these things, i believe, would be different. If we be the group of people who we claim to be. On that and on guns, sharon, we have now also heard from this oregon gunmans father who this gunman had 13, 14 guns that he had gotten legally over the course of a couple years. His father said the guns are the killers. Do you agree with him . Well, we know that a gun cannot possibly fire itself unless it misfires or something. But you know what i mean. Guns are the problem. I read that he had accumulated his arsenal obtaining his guns legally by buying them and getting them from Family Members. My brains tell me why would a Family Member want to buy someone a gun . I dont understand that. Yes, bullets have no regards for race, religion, creed or anything. The person behind the gun makes the bullet deadly. There has to be gun control and even when youre getting guns legally, are you responsible enough, are you morally able to say that i have my Second Amendment right but come the responsibility with that. On the responsibility, this is an issue that some of the president ial candidates have taken on. Hillary clinton held a town hall addressing this today in New Hampshire. A couple days ago in South Carolina, sharon, jeb bush was asked about gun laws and he said essentially more government isnt the answer. He said, yes, it is sad to see this happen, but then he said stuff happens. Im quoting now, stuff happens, theres always a crisis, impulse is always to do something. Your reaction to that . You know what, jeb bush does not live in the everyday world. I dont think he realizes what regular people have to live through. If that was his family, would he have said that . I dont think he would have. I asked jeb bush to walk in our shoes and then come back and tell me is things just happen. Reverend sharon, thank you so much for joining me again. Again, my condolences for your mother and cousins. Thank you, brooke, thank you for allowing me this opportunity. God bless you. Thank you, you too. Coming up next, the images are disturbing. A humanitarian aid hospital in afghanistan mistakenly bombed in a u. S. Air strike. Well speak with someone. Back in a moment. Its a fact. Kind of like mute buttons equal danger. That sound good . Not being on this phone call sounds good. Its not muted. Was that you jason . It was geoffrey it was jason. It couldve been brenda. You tuck here. You tuck there. If youre a toe tucker. Because of toenail fungus, ask your doctor now about prescription kerydin. Used daily, kerydin drops may kill the fungus at the site of infection and get to the root of your toe tucking.
